A LITTLE MORSEL

Which the Scandal MOngers Would Like
to Get Hold Cf-But they Can't.
And now a quiet little scandal is going
the rounds about young man who re-
Gently took his wife to certain boarding
house, and after living there several weeks
the landlady discovered that the woman
WAS not his wife, and scene followed.
The young mans father lived not over
three squares away, but was in blissful
ignorance Of his sons liaison. There are
now prospects OF exposure and all that
sort of thing, if the bold, naughty young
man doesn't repair the damage done the
fair fame Of the house where he resided
with his inamorata, aud as he doesn't pos
sess sufficient lucre, pdter fdmilidS, who is
still in the dark, will have to be appealed
to. The woman in the case is said to be a
Steubenyille eharmer. Such is life in a
large city, and it is probable nothing more
will be heard of the matter.

THE GLASS TROUBLE.
No Very Decldsd Change In the Situation
Chimney Men to Meet.

No Very Decidsd Change In the Situation
Chimney Men TO Meet.
There is no very decided change in the
glass situation, either in this city or Pitts.
5urgh. No strike las been ordered any
where, and it is becoming the opinion in
Pittsburgh that hone of thu factories will
be closed down until after Sunday. There
is no doubt but that the employees will not
accept the new rules, apd unless they are
modified there will he q strike. The only
question which seems to I've sgitating the
men is whether or not to give their en-
ployers the benefit OF the thirty days
notice.
The rumor that the employees of King,
Son & Co. g factory had returned 10 work
was not well founded Yesterday Presi.
dent Smith sent word 10 the Office Of the
firm that the me1 would not go back until
the trouble had been settled, upon which
the firm posted mo admittascen notices
at the doors of the works. Mr.. King said
that the firm Was cleaning up and making
arrangements for protracted shutdown.
The deferred meeting of the chimney
manufacturers is expected to come off al
Pittsburgh to-day, when the sdvisability
Of joining with the table ware men will be
considered

a Meeting of Manufacturers to Revise
Some Inequalities.
A number of steel manufacturers from
this section left for Washington 20 attend
a meeting Of tue Soit-Steel Association to-
day. Messrs A. W. Campbell and w. L..
Hearne will represent Wheeling at tie
meeting, and it is expected that James ID.

The object of the meeting Ii to attempt to
relieve the soft steel Den of some tariff in.
CAPABILITIES, and for this purpose all amend
ment will he introduced at this session OF
Congress on this subject. 1t is thought
that the soft-steel manufacturers will ask
for an advance Oh the tariff on their pro-
duet, as the present tariff does rot keep
out foreign competition, while on hard
steel the tariff il four or five dollars above
the necessary amount to prevent foreign
competition. An equalization Of the tartf
in these two branches will be asked.

bered that for time it was feared that
Neary's injuries would result seriously, but
he has passed the crisis, and is now all
right. This trouble ought to serve as a
warning to some of the wild young men in

of "Frou Frou" Sarcy, the famous
